Summary

This early-phase study tests whether a special PET scan using an experimental tracer called 18F-FAC can show how much of the standard chemotherapy drug gemcitabine is taken up by pancreatic tumors. About 30 adults with pancreatic cancer will receive the tracer before starting treatment. The goal is to gather information that could help doctors predict which patients might benefit most from chemotherapy.
